Dismayed is hardly the word. Seraphina’s parents were outraged. They had donated a brand new gymnasium to Seraphina’s school, and she’d never made it into the top athletics’ team. What was the school on about? Seraphina was one of their most talented athletes.

Nor was she placed in the class for accelerated learners. Didn’t the school realise how clever she was at mathematics? Not to mention her creative writing. And her art! Hadn’t they seen Seraphina’s parent’s refrigerator door with art works under the magnets? And she learnt the piano; classical of course. Come the annual assessments, and Seraphina did not do well.
